In addition, monophyly of most or all capitellid genera was questionable, as some diagnostic characters vary ontogenetically within individuals. We tested the monophyly of Capitellidae and eight capitellid genera using phyloge- netic analyses of combined 18S, 28S, H3, and COI gene sequences from 36 putative capitellid spe- cies. In our trees, Capitellidae formed a monophyletic sister group to Echiura, and Capitella was also monophyletic, separated by a long branch from other capitellids. Well-supported clades each containing representatives of different genera, or containing a subset of species within a genus, indicated that Barantolla, Heteromastus, and Notomastus are likely not monophyletic. We mapped three morphological characters traditionally used to define capitellid genera (head width relative to width of first segment, number of thoracic segments, and number of segments with capillary chae- tae) onto our tree.

  • Polychaeta Lana Crumrine
    Polychaeta Lana Crumrine Well over 200 species of the class Polychaeta are found in waters off the shores of the Pacific Northwest. Larval descriptions are not available for the majority of these species, though descriptions are available of the larvae for at least some species from most families. This chapter provides a dichotomous key to the polychaete larvae to the family level for those families with known or suspected pelagic larva. Descriptions have be $in gleaned from the literature from sites worldwide, and the keys are based on the assumption that developmental patterns are similar in different geographical locations. This is a large assumption; there are cases in which development varies with geography (e.g., Levin, 1984). Identifying polychaetes at the trochophore stage can be difficult, and culturing larvae to advanced stages is advised by several experts in the field (Bhaud and Cazaux, 1987; Plate and Husemann, 1994). Reproduction, Development, and Morphology Within the polychaetes, the patterns of reproduction and larval development are quite variable. Sexes are separate in most species, though hermaphroditism is not uncommon. Some groups undergo a process called epitoky at sexual maturation; benthic adults develop swimming structures, internal organs degenerate, and mating occurs between adults swimming in the water column. Descriptions of reproductive pattern, gamete formation, and spawning can be found in Strathmann (1987). Larval polychaetes generally develop through three stages: the trochophore, metatrochophore, and nectochaete stages. Trochophores are ciliated larvae (see Fig. 1).A band of cilia, the prototroch, is used for locomotion and sometimes feeding. Trochophore larvae are generally broad anteriorly and taper posteriorly.
